Eczema is a skin condition that can be triggered by various factors, including certain foods. While the specific foods that trigger eczema can vary from person to person, some common culprits include:

• Nuts
• Milk
• Wheat
• Eggs
• Soy
• Citrus
• Tomatoes
• Gluten
• Spices such as cloves, cinnamon, and vanilla
• Foods that contain nickel, such as canned meats, chocolate, seeds, beans (including soy), peas, shellfish, and some black teas.pdf)

Its important to note that not all people with eczema will have food triggers, and that food triggers can vary from person to person. To determine if certain foods are triggering your eczema, you can try an elimination diet. This involves removing common culprits from your diet one at a time and monitoring your bodys response over a few weeks. If you discover a food that is causing your eczema flare-ups, its best to remove it from your diet completely.

In addition to avoiding trigger foods, there are also foods that can help reduce eczema symptoms. These include:

• Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish like salmon and herring, flaxseed oil, and fish oil supplements
• Foods high in quercetin, such as apples, blueberries, and kale
• Probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut

Its important to note that while diet can play a role in managing eczema symptoms, its not a cure for the condition. Its always best to consult with a healthcare provider before making any major changes to your diet, especially if you have food allergies or other health conditions.
